What are we up to?The Seasons Unity Project is showcasing a ne﻿﻿twork of community-inclusive ﻿"winter gardening structures" asdemonstrations, in order to stimulate greater awareness in climates for how to optimize cold-climate regional production offresh produce﻿﻿﻿﻿through all seasons!

Essential Intentions 1Accessibility- we advocate low to no cost to entry, accessibility to the proper skills, and an open-source community for support and collaboration2Material Life-cycle - we emphasize earthen or "in-cycle" materials (no need for new material churn)3Progressively Inclusive- our process builds a community, which grows, innovates, and shares for the collective benefit4 Regional Relevance- we encourage regional autonomy & sustainability by means of healthy, locally-empowered cultivation (less taxing other parts of the world)

Walipini- meaning "place of warmth,"is an underground greenhouse structure which originates from Bolivia, South America. These earthen-based structures are used to extend the growing season, year-round, during the cold season months.

An effective Winter Garden Structure may be as elaborate or as basic as desired. Each structure may be designed, sized, and constructed to a vast array of site demands, material availabilities, and owner preferences. From elaborate cold frames to field sized productions, the first emphasis is to understand that a conceivable option may be crafted in almost any case.

Size, scale, and production...

small (personal cold frame)

medium (home scale)

large (community produce)

Community

We're creating a progressively inclusive community platform - a community which supports, grows, and shares together.
